The ESN blog is taking a break for Memorial Day. If you’re in the US, may I recommend going to a small-town parade (or two, in out case) and getting together for a cookout with friends? I also hope that you’ll take some time to visit a cemetery or other special place to remember loved ones and meditate on Christ’s victory over the grave.
Last night I started reading the newly published “The Art of Dying: Living Fully Into the Life to Come” (Rob Moll, InterVarsity Press, 2010, http://www.ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3736. Note: excerpt at http://www.ivpress.com/title/ata/3736-cut.pdf ). An excellent preparation for conversations on death/life at the Marietta (PA) Memorial Day Parade and over our extended family’s lunch. More thoughts coming, taking a break from the blog. Really 😉
